Like most midsized and larger cities, my city, Chattanooga, has an Innovation District. It was established with all the dreams that such a fun and funky place can muster. The hope is that by setting aside a specially designated zone, creative minds will gather, interact and spark new creativity. It is intended to be an environment of energy and entrepreneurialism to replace the lost factory jobs of the industrial past and launch the community into the future. Caffeine and adrenalin are replacing coal and steam. Coffee shops and bars are the meeting places for the skunkworks of today.
